Making Waves

I’m not a fan of mama’s boys. I find them mildly disturbing.   To me, a guy being a mama’s boy is one of the most unattractive and annoying traits a guy can have. I’ve talked to different guys who have bragged ad nauseam about being mama’s boys, and while some women may be into it, I know many (myself included) who are not. While every situation is different, this kind of situation can be problematic, stressful, and in some cases, a complete nightmare. And while it may be presumptuous to assume that  all  mama’s boys are not the best guys to date or build a life with, many of them should be approached with caution Here’s why.    It’s not always a sign he’ll treat you right.  A big misconception with mama’s boys is that if they’re good to their moms, they’ll be good to you too. This isn’t always true. I’ve seen these types of guys treat their moms like queens and then treat their girlfriends or wives like crap. I’ve also heard horror stories from different w...

The day it happened I was an emotional wreck.   I was tired, sad, angry, and frustrated. All at the same time. And I let it rip. I cursed out loud, in private (thank goodness), in front of Jesus. I’m not one to use much profanity but with how I was feeling at the time, it felt warranted. This season has been challenging and there have been times when I have honestly hated it. I haven’t enjoyed the negative ways it’s made me feel. I don’t like how it’s disrupted my sleep. And I really don’t like how it’s robbed me of my hope and my peace. Even before the pandemic hit, I’d been praying and asking God to move in different areas of my life where I wanted to see change and progression. And while I won’t deny that there have been some occasional blessings here and there, at the time I was upset, I wasn’t experiencing the kind of breakthroughs I’ve prayed for, worked for, and waited for.    So the day I dropped those f-bombs during my prayer time was no joke. I was deeply disapp...

While I’m all for female empowerment and women supporting other women, I have a confession to make. I don’t support  every  woman I meet or encounter. And for valid reasons. If you’re a woman reading this right now, I can probably guess a handful of thoughts running through your mind. But before you take my statement the wrong way, let me explain. I’m not a hater, shade-thrower, or someone who’s into tearing down other women. I’ve seen enough awful women who are about that life and I’m not here for it. Women who behave that way are the women I choose not to support. The haters. The shade-throwers. And the type who are into tearing down others. We all make mistakes and I won’t pretend I’m a woman who’s always   been supportive of others .  In the past,   I’ve been dismissive, insecure, and felt I needed to compete with other women to get ahead. I’ve also clapped back at mean-spirited women when they’ve come at me sideways or said or did something petty aimed at m...

This season has given me a nice amount of time to reflect and think about myself and different areas of my life. More specifically, the areas where I’ve been unhappy and heavily discontented.  Some things could be better, and I’ve actively been working to improve them.    I know 2020 has not been the year many of us thought it would be. I mean, really, who could have anticipated a disruption like a global pandemic? While it’s certainly been quite a year and a lot of changes have taken place, this was also the year I turned 30. While I was able to celebrate with my family, I had some additional exciting birthday plans fall through, as well as some other things that were delayed and denied because of everything that’s happened. And with these things happening and more, I’ve realized that there will never be a  perfect  time or ideal conditions to change certain parts of your life you desire change or to make decisions about the direction you want your life to go. ...

I first heard about  Sol De Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream  from a young woman I met during a digital happy hour via Zoom. She raved about how great this stuff was and since I’m all about self-care and spending as much time as I can on the beach during the summer, I knew this was something I’d appreciate. Since I’ve ordered the cream, I haven’t stopped using it. And I love it! If you're a woman who wants to treat yourself to a little something special, Sol De Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is a nice start. It's the ultimate glow up for you and your booty  🍑😊 . It smells amazing, goes on smooth, and can help hydrate and tighten your skin. Which is incredibly beneficial if you're a woman, like me, who has cellulite. I know a lot of other women who have it too, of all different shapes and sizes, so I know other women would benefit from this product and enjoy it. Granted, working out on a regular basis typically gets you the best results. I work out regularly and lo...
